More quotes by Beth Ditto
Instagram is a Roman arena of insults. Everyone is a lion, but it is fun.
Beth Ditto
I always was really confident about myself, about my voice, myself as a person, my body, all of those things, but as a songwriter - I just didn't identify as a songwriter at all.
Beth Ditto
My life hasn't been conventional and it hasn't been linear. I've had to make it up as I've gone along, which has taught me a lot. If you don't accept the obvious options that are laid out for you, it's up to you to work out where you're going and to create your own specific rules and goals.
Beth Ditto
I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself, and that is so important. And not just about your body, but so many ways of confidence. You're constantly learning how to be confident, aren't you?
Beth Ditto
We all seek approval, and our mother's seal is usually the most important. The nitty gritty is that we have to accept ourselves, even if it is just to be ready for the next cut-down. Mom's blessing or not.
Beth Ditto
I'm constantly thinking about what I'll do next. I never count on music being a career of longevity. I mean, longevity is key, and I hope that it lasts, but you just don't know, because it's not in your hands, you don't make the decision.

All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds.
Beth Ditto
I shave my body in all kinds of ways, wear tons of eyeliner and dye my hair pink.
Beth Ditto
I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.
Beth Ditto
When I think about the idea of Rebel Wilson having to go to the Oscars and not having something amazing to wear that's made for her, it drives me mad.
Beth Ditto
The black bubble dress is a must! The leggings are absolutely amazing too, they fit perfectly and let you breath when still being super high-waisted. They are everything and so easy to pair anything with.
Beth Ditto
When you get a certain amount of media attention, I think people are like, Where's your other album?
Beth Ditto
Do I ever think Gossip will be really massive in America? No, I don't think it'll happen - and that's fine. It's kind of nice because I get to experience everything at once. I get to come home and it not be weird, like in Paris or something. It is nice to be completely anonymous.
Beth Ditto
I find inspiration everywhere. I love challenges and my favorite thing is to find something ridiculous and be like if it's all that I have available to me, I am gonna make it look the best that I can.
Beth Ditto
I'm not sure that I am able to feel embarrassment.
Beth Ditto
Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music - well, still not knowing how to play music.
Beth Ditto
The fit is my main focus, I want the fit to be great and that's the focal point for me.
Beth Ditto
There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.

Granny Ditto always referred to perfume as smell good and for me it's an essential. I have a sweetheart who's extremely allergic to most scents, so I have to be extra careful - as well as creative - in the smell department. The key, I've found, are essential oils, which come in all kinds of 100% natural scents.

I'm passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.
